Soccer weekend ahead
I’m out of town for the weekend so I’ll miss the One Lowell World Cup Soccer tournament, but I hope others will attend and enjoy the games and support the great work that One Lowell does. Not sure what that is? Check out their website at www.onelowell.net. (You can also link to information and schedules for the soccer games.) One of their major initiatives is to help improve the attendance rate of immigrant students; they have had great success with this effort that takes concentrated one-on-one outreach to families. Along with increased attendance comes improved academic performance and a reduction in the retention and drop-out rates, all good things. As many public school teachers will tell you, ’if the students aren’t in school, they can’t be taught and they can’t benefit from the resources that are there for them.’
